Homes fit for heroes
The LGA is calling for 100,000 new social homes to be built every year, to help kickstart recovery.
First homes
A new scheme to help first-time buyers could reduce the supply of other affordable and social homes for rent.
Fuel for thought
The transition to electric vehicles offers important benefits but needs local infrastructure solutions.
The homes agenda
Councils are approving new homes but need more powers and funding to play a lead role in tackling the national housing shortage.
In charge?
Councils have a role to play in ensuring sufficient charging points are available to support the replacement of diesel and petrol cars with electric versions.
Going greener
The LGA is gearing up to provide more support to member councils on environmental issues.
